Yeah, I've just got to find a way to infiltrate their ranks and become known as a trusted resource. Of course, not having a single GSF in my ponds doesn't help my odds!

Give JHAP your GPS coordinates. He can seed them from the DeathStar.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Just tell JHAP you have GSF in your pond and that you like them, and you'll be in the club.

We don't need any fancy lawyering.
We eliminate any would be plaintiff's the old fashioned way - through threats, intimidation, and bodily violence.

It's not quite that easy. Otherwise we would number in the thousands. To become a member one must have an unwavering love of GSF and take the GSA pledge...

I pledge to manage my pond in the best interest of the almighty green sunfish and protect this beautiful species from heretical blasphemy.

And remember here at the GSA we don't require ANY membership dues. We are 100% supported via extortion, misappropriation, kidnap for ransom, black mail and other time honored fund raising activities. You may however be called upon at some time in the future to serve your Association in whatever capacity that we deem necessary to further the cause of the GSA. It is possible that this service could include less than legal and/or less than moral activities. Once a member of the GSA you are a member for life, only the GSA can terminate you your membership privileges.

Heck we even have our very own National Anthem...

O beautiful for spacious waters,
For amber fins of glory,
For emerald streaks majesties
Above the oxygenated pond bottom!
GREEN SUNFISH!, OH GREEN SUNFISH!
God shed his grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood
From pond to shining pond!

Now carry on with your meaningless lives you blasphemers and hope that we don't smite you with our unrelenting weapons and whatnot.

Wow. Tax season is clearly over and our poor buddy JHAP is having withdrawals - that post was more complex and cross-referenced than a Form 1040 with every possible schedule attached to it! grin

Once JHAP gets past tax season it is all about GFS dreamscaping and post count enhancement. This happens every year.

Miraculously he returns to semi-normal by summer when he gets out his surfboard.

This is just one of those annual happenings that we can do little about. Think of it like a combination of three other things that happen every April:

-- spring season in "tornado alley"

-- Spring Break at the beaches

-- dealing with the season of the "Vomit Blossoms"

We just have to put up with it for a few weeks, and then it mostly settles down for the rest of the year.

Don't be so sure! I have heard serious rumblings that JHAP blackmailed Rex into sneaking GSF into the packages that you, Sunil, and I got last October! crazy

So -- I think you can safely infiltrate!

Actually -- I think I have a picture of you with a GSF from one of the "farm ponds" we snuck (sneeked??) into last summer with the PB traveling lures!

Snuck has such ugly connotations to it. I prefer to think we merely took advantage of an opportunity to assist an absentee landowner in facilitating a necessary aquaculture management fish culling procedure! grin

As soon as I think of an appropriate retort I shall post it and it will scathe your very essence to the core. As for now, I need a second cup of coffee to drive caffeine into my cerebral cortex to assist in the a fore mentioned retort conjuring. So sit back and prepare to be verbally abused beyond recognition (once the caffeine kicks in).

Ah yes....reminds me of my old band. We were paid $50.00 to pack up and go play somewhere else.

Man, this forum can be one strange place.

Thank goodness I'm just a spectator and don't actually participate in any fashion.

Wait....

Weirdos.


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.
